Chapter 136 - 123 Beiqing Hall
The elder was none other than Pei Zhangluo, the elder responsible for assessing Lin Yuan’s promotion to a mid-grade Pill Master.
"The elder has arrived." Upon seeing the elder’s features, several people were immediately taken aback.
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads in salute: "Greetings, Elder."
Pei Zhangluo held a high position and considerable power in the Pei family, managing affairs of logistics, commanding impressive authority. But why has he come here today? Could it be that the fifth young master has caught his eye, elevating his status within the family with new assignments?
Those present lowered their heads, yet felt a thrill in their hearts. At this moment, the fifth young master was like the warm sun of early spring, warming them up.
"Third Grandfather."
Pei Shijing’s expression froze upon realizing who had come. He absolutely did not expect that the one to arrive would be his third grandfather, who managed the logistics affairs.
Yet, his expression soon transformed into a smile, and he promptly got up to greet him: "Third Grandfather is here, without giving your grandson any hint, to prepare in advance to welcome you."
Pei Zhangluo, seeing Lin Yuan unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise Yue Jiang might have harmed Lin Yuan."
Glancing past Pei Shijing, he took a couple of steps forward, extending his hand to halt Pei Shijing’s advance: "I did not come here for you; I have another important matter. Stay aside."
Pei Shijing paused, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
